Ah, placemats – such a quick, easy yet satisfying project. And? They pretty up the place. This one’s the prototype for the class I’ll be teaching at gather here this Tuesday. Of course, I forget how teeny our humble little kitchen is and use the 50 mm lens when I can’t get more than a couple of feet away from the pretty. Derf. But hey, enjoy this detail shot:

I love these placemats, but I have slowly come to the realization that I don't like to sew by myself and would prefer to be in another room interacting with my husband. Is this as easy to sew together without a machine?
